(thread drift) I've seen numbers that suggest that devices on standby use a surprisingly high percentage of domestic power overall, just due to their prevalence and the total time they are running. Recent improvements seem to have driven the wattages much lower, but that's countered by all those where 'standby' is the only 'off'.
Ideally such devices would be ideal candidates for a solar generator with battery backup. The house could use grid power when anything needed 'real' power, but that 'background level of usage that adds up to so much overall would be taken care of. Unfortunately systems aren't designed like that. -- karma mechanic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ karma mechanic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8868 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31789 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
